The rap icon, best known for her hits ‘Work It’ and ‘Get Ur Freak On’, will be closing this year’s festival with her first UK show in nine years, which organisers have already tipped to be among the most memorable Bestival finales in its history.

She said: “I'm very excited to be performing at Bestival this year! I can't wait to see all my fans I haven't seen in some time… new ones and my day one fans. We are gonna have a blast together. Bring your dancing outfits and kicks!”

“Needing no introduction Missy is the epitome of hip-hop royalty, the first lady of party-starting club bangers and a downright legend. I cannot wait to watch the most successful female rap artist ever to ‘Work It’ at Bestival 2015!”
